The art is in the detail, Paiste must have thought, and created 'Nicko's Treasures,' a unique and limited edition set inspired by the Mayan theme of the tour stage set.
The Mayan Cymbal Theme
The artwork on the cymbals is inspired by the Mayan theme of the tour stage set. In the video where Nicko reveals the story of the Paiste Treasures you will get every detail and all the insights on the process of making them. Nicko goes into detail on all the aspects and items shown on this unique cymbal set.
Quick details include: the elements of the artwork of sun god Tonatiuh, the date January 9, 1983 written in Mayan calendar glyphs, the day of Nicko's very first session with Iron Maiden.
The Wooden Crate
The 12 model set comes in a huge custom made wooden crate which features elements of the artwork branded into the wood and on a laser engraved bronze plaque. Inside are a signed CD and Vinyl versions of 'The Book of Souls' album, signed Nicko "Boomer" McBrain Vic Firth signature drum sticks, and a signed Certificate of Authenticity.
Funny fact: Nicko McBrain doesn't even have the wooden crate!
